What Mississippi Colors Represent
The New Magnolia flag uses blue for vigilance, justice, and perseverance; red for hardiness and valor; and gold to honor Mississippi's cultural history and Indigenous peoples
Are Red, Blue, and Gold Mississippi's Official Colors?
Mississippi has an official state flag but no separate statute naming standalone state colors. Red, blue, and gold are therefore best described as Mississippi's official flag colors rather than an independently adopted state palette.
The New Magnolia design was approved by voters in November 2020 and became the state flag in January 2021.
What Do the Mississippi Flag Colors Mean?
The Mississippi Department of Archives and History explains that blue represents vigilance, justice, and perseverance, while red represents hardiness and valor. Gold recognizes the state's cultural history; the separate gold star also represents the Indigenous peoples of the land that became Mississippi.
